Thanks @DoiX. Sadly the speakers don't work. Can you tell me how to dump the code? Before that, here are some screenshots that might help:

1) Do you think I need to change the profile (currently 13" macbook??)
2) I have only installed the patched ML Apple HDA and the new DSDT as instructed
3) When selecting internal speakers in the system preferences the bar flicks back to boom device

1.Afaik sound is not affected by the smbios value.
3. It's normal behavior when one has boom installed. Try uninstalling it, maybe something is bugged with boom.

About the codec thing: http://www.projectos...p?showtopic=465 but it should be the last option.

Thanks DoiX. Tried all that, uninstalled Boom, two icons next to each other, but still no sound!

Option 1) Voodoo HDA
Option 2) Patch AppleHDA myself?

AMH.

[DoiX]

As far as i can tell, they both offer the same functions. Go ahead with voodooHDA, it's easier and faster than messing with the verbs in the info.plist file.

@

DoiX

after update 10.8.2  

[amh10]

That is exactly what I had! I have failed with @DoiX's v1.4 package, am now experimenting with a new voodooHDA file....

Will report back ;-)

Hey,

I've got Mountain Lion 10.8 installed on my laptop (L502x first gen).
Everything works but two things, sleep and the USB 3 ports.

Ive installed the

PXHCD.

kext into S/E/L and repaired the disk permissions using disk utility and kext wizard but still they don't work

Regarding the USB problem, it does load and I can see the USB 3 information in System report, but all that happens is the lights on the USB stick flash and nothing else. I might try removing PXHCD.kext and just using DoiX's DSDT instead and see how that goes

With the sleeping issue, I press sleep (or close the lid) the screen goes black but everything remains on. I can press caps lock on the keyboard and the capslock light turns on. So do the three buttons just below the screen and the power button light and xps light stays on. I have no idea why. Is it possible to log whats happening as the laptop goes to sleep?

Edit: All was fixed by reinstalling ML

UPDATE: Sound now fixed after using the Voodoo 2.7.3 audio package. 2.7.4 does not work.

How can I dump the audio details?

[adeebm]

Good news! capitankasar over at http://forum.noteboo...es-more-81.html managed to unlock the advanced BIOS menu. I flashed just now and works for me. It doesn't seem to have an integrated/discrete option like the L702s does. However, there is an option for primary graphics adapter. Default is IGP, setting it to PEG does disable integrated on my laptop. However, windows refused to route through the nvidia card, and ended up running on basic vga drivers. I'll need to play around with it more, but being able to disable integrated might finally mean a breakthough in using our nvidia cards for OSX.

Morning all, haven't posted in a while as I was busy working on BIOS modding.

Finally after months of hard work we have finally cracked the hidden advanced menus on the XPS 15 and 15z, most likely it's also the case for the L702x as well. That means we (as osx users) have now an incredible new set of options for ACPI, Graphics, CPU states and more. Not sure if I can post the link here but all those who have followed my work in the last few months know where to go

is there some thing for inspiron n5110 ?

[jkbuha]

Probably yes Mohamed. I had previously patched my speedstep module based on a 15R hack, so the bioses are very similar. Follow my instructions in the bios mods thread, or alternatively let me know if you need any help!

I'm also closely watching your development progress on the alps trackpad 2/3 finger scroll - the 15z has similar trackpad hardware to the 15R so we share many components. Good luck

Hey Jbuha is there any option to enable Discrete Graphic card on L702x ( As the post from adeebm suggests) ?  Anyways i will be heading towards ur thread.

How do u know that l702 has integrated/discrete option ? where do u get that info from ? can u confirm it ? Is there any L702 bios modding thread ?  If so can u just forward me ur sources.

Secondly regarding l502 have u tested OS X on new cracked bios ? Can u use Nvidia card on OS X ? Will be eagerly waiting for ur reply.

If we can get Nvidia active on OS X then that would be real breakthrough even without optimus support.

[jkbuha]

Not sure about the discrete option macky. Best bet would be to try the hack and report back

[Mohamed Khairy]

note my bios is an ami apito bios ?

[jkbuha]

Shouldn't make a difference. If you search in your setup module for the hex string I provided you will most likely find it in two places as well.

[DoiX]

Great work JKBuha!

Some info about the Nvidia card. Using the modded bios with PEG settings and the _PS0 DSDT (which always resulted in some type of boot loop) i can get to the desktop but it freezes there, can't dump anything to see if and what has changed in the system registry. Will experiment more when i get home.

P.S this bios throttles the fan to maximum. My temp is around 35ºC at this speed....
